I hated this tent. It was smelly. It was dark. And Spartan1 told me if it was wet and I touched the side that it would then be wet INSIDE! I was so paranoid about touching the side!
He would close it up and spray a "bug bomb" inside before we were going to inhabit. Don't remember a real bug problem with it, but since we had rain off and on for several days on our six-day trip, it was never really feeling (or smelling) dry.
That's Spartan1 in the background of the photo, chopping branches off a dead tree for our fire. Probably the campsite at Myrtle Falls on the Namakan River, if I remember right.
Before our second trip we bought the orange nylon tent.
By the way, thanks for the compliment, Jimbo. It has been fun looking at some vintage canoe country photos this spring and summer, but I also have a few from our recent trip to the Gunflint that I need to get ready to send. They won't be fuzzy like these.
Still, having photos to bring back the memories of spending time in the canoe country for more than 50 years is a treasure, regardless of the quality, I guess.
